Explanation

LPT1 is the designation for the first parallel port on a PC. To add a parallel port, a parallel expansion card must be installed. Serial cards (A) add COM ports, video cards (B) add display outputs, and audio cards (C) add sound capabilities - none of these create a parallel/LPT port. A parallel expansion card, once installed, can be assigned to LPT1 in the BIOS or OS settings.
